So it's finally here a good event, story, reason to blog again. To begin I have to go back to December 2010 and a little girl starting to talk about her all time favorite person in the world (besides me her mother of course) Taylor Swift. As she starts talking about how great she is as a person, singer, gorgeous woman she starts slipping in the fact that she is also coming in concert to Salt Lake. Fast forward to January 2011 her dad and I start asking her what she would like for her birthday in February. Well Meg wouldn't tell us she just would say whatever. Lynn, Meg and I were all sitting around the kitchen table on a Saturday afternoon, Meg still not saying what she would like for her birthday. So Lynn looked at her and said, "OK I guess we don't have to get you anything, I think mom and I will take that money and go on a date." Well that went well, she yelled out "NO, what I want is to go see Taylor Swift in concert". Meg being daddy's little girl, yes we all have faced it that she is a daddy's girl got her wish. Lynn went right to the computer and looked up tickets. After spending way to much money for broker fees to make sure we had tickets and after waiting 7 1/2 months, Meg finally got her birthday present. The best part of all this was the fact that we were able to talk her aunt Sheri into buying tickets and taking herself and McKenna with us on our girls night out. With McKenna's birthday just a few weeks before the concert in September it made it a little easier to talk them into it.
Kenna you ROCK, what a great poster you made...
Meg and I outside before the concert...
Sheri and Kenna outside before the concert.Thank you Sheri for being willing to use up all of the phone battery to take picture's for us!
Meg and I had so much fun with Sheri and Kenna they made the night a memory of a life time.
Honestly these girls were so ready to have fun. I know Meg was happy to have me go with her but honestly without her best friend McKenna the night would not have been the same. Sheri text this picture to the concert and it made it onto the big screen at the concert. It was so cool and fun to see...
OK, so this next picture had the most work put into it out of the night. Why do you say this picture was work? Well let me tell you. The really cute Taylor shirts that the girls are wearing took me about 45 minutes of pushing my way though 1oo people to get. It was crazy no line or order at all to this. It was so bad Sheri and I couldn't even stay close by each other and she just ended up having me get what she wanted to get. Believe me people you have to really love your daughter to go though what Sheri and I did just for these shirts. Neither one of us wanted to go back empty handed.
This was so cool, Taylor Swift sat down right in front of us in this tree to sing 4 songs. I thought the girls had died and gone to heaven. I'm just glad they remembered to breath!!!
All in all this was one of the best highlights I have had as a mother. As silly as it sounds I teared up a few times just by watching Meg enjoy herself so much. It was worth every dime I spent to see her so happy. It was worth every minute we had to wait the past 7 1/2 months. It was worth going to a concert that I really didn't know much about the music I was listening to. Taylor Swift put on the best concert I have ever been to!!!
